Black and white and a little dressy

November 20, 2017

Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year.  Nope!  The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went.

She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose the type of bottom.  I decided on a cape top and fitted pencil skirt with a flounce.

These two pieces were actually fairly easy to draft up and make.  I got it done in about two nights.

I thought the top turned out pretty cute.

She didn’t like it.  She was not a fan of the cape, and she wanted it not fitted at all, like this:

So…next time it will be a different top.  For now…she had to wear this.  Poor thing. 😉

At least she loves the skirt!

  1. Lovely! I love the whole thing, but that skirt is perfection! And with the ponte knit it looks really comfortable.

    1. Thanks, Rachel! Yes, she loved how the skirt fit and looked on her. I’m pretty sure it will go into regular rotation. 🙂
